Established in 1994, the Aldo Leopold Nature Center (ALNC) is an independent non-profit dedicated to connecting children (and people) to nature, while nurturing a love for the natural world. Located in Monona, Wisconsin, and inspired by the legacy of Aldo Leopold, our mission is to nurture children, their well-being, and environmental sustainability through connecting and learning in nature. 

We are located on public land and, while our educational programs are central to our mission, fostering community engagement with the natural world is equally important. We warmly invite visitors to explore our trails from dawn until dusk and embrace the spirit of connection with nature that is the heart of ALNC.
